(6) The licensee or permittee is guilty of unprofessional conduct;

(7) The licensee or permittee has violated any provision of SDCL chapter 36-28 or any rule promulgated pursuant to that chapter; or

(8) The licensee had an action taken against a nursing facility administrator or equivalent license in another jurisdiction.
